Friday Night Show

Colorful Nebula

Colorful Nebula will give guests the chance to learn about the beautiful clouds in space known as nebulae. Nebulae are connected to star's life and can give insight on a star's history. Guests will also get a better understanding of why nebulae are so colorful in pictures. Famous nebulae such as the Eagle, Horsehead and the Cat's Eye will be featured in the program. Shows will run every Friday night at 7 to 7:55 p.m. from January 17 to March 7, 2014.

The show, as always, includes an indoor stargazing portion to look at familiar patterns such as the Big Dipper but also other astronomical objects such as the beautiful Andromeda galaxy, nebulae and star clusters. Guests will be able to ask questions at the end of the program.

First time at the planetarium?

Here's what you need to know! The UWM Planetarium is both wheelchair accessible and family friendly; however, shows are not recommended for children under the age of five due to the darkness of the room.

Please arrive early to ensure seating; tickets are available on a first-come first-serve basis. The doors will be locked upon commencement of the program.
